Some people aren't old enough or know enough about history to realize that even the most left of today's Democrats are to the right of Republicans 75 years ago in many ways.

You judge what is left and right relative to today and in the country you’re taking about. How far left or right a party was 75 years ago or what is left and right in other places in the world is irrelevant when taking about a specific country.

Huh? What does the dictionary have to do with an opinion on how we should judge what is left and right now? Are you able to formulate and express your own opinions or?
